Geographic Literacy--Latitude and Longitude Worksheets
First, work on the latitude and longitude worksheets I gave you in class last week.
Middle East & Turkey Map Work
You will work on three maps this week: two of the Middle East and one of Turkey. You'll find the directions and things you need to label here, so just print this and label away.
Middle East Maps
Print this extra copy of the Middle East Map (your other copy is on the back of a blank Africa map).
Map #1 should label countries, cities, and places. #2 will feature landforms, bodies of water, etc. All maps should use some type of key for capitals, color codes for areas, etc.
You'll find the Middle East Geography by looking at online maps and at the Sheppard Software site.
Here's another map that may be helpful too.
Turkey Map
I also want you to print and create a separate map for Turkey. Because of its transregional and transcontinental geographic location, Turkey has been a historically pivotal place throughout history. It's full of ancient cities and places that you've read about--Troy, Ephesus, Mount Ararat. We'll find and label these and more.
Here are some maps to help you with your Turkey geography.
